A perfect Outer Banks vacation home

The getaway was perfectly situated in a quiet neighborhood just a short distance from the sound, and convenient to all the local sites and businesses -- without the noise and traffic. The home is beautifully appointed and very comfortable for young and old alike.

Great Location

We found the location in Nags Head on the sound side to be perfect. Great access to everything up and down the coast; quiet neighborhood - nice for an evening walk; good water views. Also was decorated nicely and a very comfortable space. Kitchen was well outfitted. Though would be nice if a few coffee filters were provided. We left some behind for the next group. Also would be nice to have beach chairs and towels provided. I checked ahead of time so we knew they were not provided (we were flying in from western US) so we stopped at Walmart and picked up a few cheap towels. There was one (rusty) chair we assume someone left behind that we also used that worked out for us. Overall, the house itself is a great space!

Beautiful home

We had a wonderful time in a Nags Head. The home was in a great area and convenient for the beach and shopping. We did have some issues with the refrigerator/freezer upon arrival and there were a lot of spiderwebs. There was a light fixture hanging from the house after a storm and someone came to fix it right away but when he left, it was still hanging. Not sure what that was about. All in all, it was a lovely home and we would go back.

Would Like to Keep This a Secret to Myself

This is a lovely home, in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood with a view of the Roanoke Sound that cannot be beat. Glorious sunsets. Wonderful neighborhood to walk in and explore. For a relaxing getaway, do not think you can top this.

Great rental for group trip

Well-kept beach house steps away from the sounds and Jockey’s Ridge sounds access. Quiet neighborhood - great location to relax. The house was neat and well-kept, communications with the rental management company were efficient and timely. Would stay again!

Nice, quiet and convenient location. Spacious home.

This home easily accommodated my family of 7. The neighborhood was very nice and quiet. We enjoyed riding bikes to the park and hanging out at the sound. The only thing I can say about the home is that the kitchen needs a pizza pan. Otherwise, great stay!

Awesome trip to OBX!

The house was very clean when we arrived. Perfect view of the sunset every evening. Everything is close by, only a 2 minute drive to the beach. Wish we could've stayed longer.

Great house in a great location

We always rent a house right on the beach and this being our first time at Nags Head, we were a bit hesitant to stay on the sound side. It’s a 2 minute drive across the street to get to the beach and lots of free public parking. The neighborhood was so quiet with few rental houses and it was great to take walks in the evening and the sound views at sunset were amazing. The house was decorated super cute, nice updated kitchen, and great location.

Great Place - as advertised

No surprises, was exactly as advertised. We had a great time, great location. Large smart TV was a bonus, could stream all of our favorites (just make sure to logout of any you upload when you leave). Lastly, recommend visiting a local bar on your first night and conversing with the local bartenders. They know the best beaches, with the best waves, best places to eat, etc.
